The National Organization of Italian American Women is accepting applications for its annual Scholarship Program, which provides financial awards annually to highly qualified Italian American women enrolled in college and graduate school. Preferential consideration is given to applicants who have demonstrated excellence in fields of study of Italian language and/or culture.

Since 1980, NOIAW has awarded scholarships annually to women of Italian descent who have achieved academic success. While their academic passions vary, all of the scholarship winners share a strong connection to their Italian heritage and a history of academic excellence.
